Building record TQ 67 SW 1310 - Rose Street Second World War public air raid shelter tunnel, Northfleet
Summary
Second World War public air raid shelter formed from the footway tunnel south of Rose Street, Northfleet which passes north-south under the North Kent railway line. It is brick-arched and about 20 m long. Commissioned c. 1940, the entrances were protected with sand-bagged walls, and later by concrete. It would have been decommissioned by 1945. The tunnel then resumed in use as a footway and at a later but unknown date, was blocked with brick and concrete at either end.
